I hope more sign up as givers. If not, I can certainly drop. I've had to stop my previous craft (knitting) more or less because of arthritis, which is why I'm getting into making jewelery. I just don't have access to all my knitting supplies for a bit yet or I'd be a giver on that front.

I might consider being able to ship out of my country to canada or something if it becomes too much of an issue =]If you need to pair me with a giver from out of the country it may not be an issue for me to send their gifts, lets just see how things go toward the end of sign ups!

I signed up as both a needer and a giver. I need yarn for my new love of crochet and have a bunch of extra material laying around. I'm moving as of the 26th and won't be able to give details of my material until the 1st or later when I unpack but I hope I get in as both. Trades are always nice

8 hours, 15 PMs later, and we still only have 3 people who are only givers.

** edited to rephrase things

due to a sudden influx of people who are willing to be both givers and needers, i will not be approving anyone else to this swap until tomorrow. i anticipate that signups will be closed tomorrow as well. again, it's first come, first served.

while i appreciate everyone's generosity, i would like to say that while i will try my best to make sure that everyone's wishes are met, chances are not everyone can be both a giver and a needer.

I signed up for jewelery-making supplies. If that can't be met, I'm perfectly alright dropping my spot for another needer.

I used to knit/crochet, but arthritis in my hands has led me to stop. I can get maybe 5 stitches before I have to stop. Jewelery doesn't cause that issue, so I'm trying to get there, but... being out of work a while on disability led to very little (er, no) income.

right now I just use what bits I can find and the yarn I still have. lots of braided and knotted stuff. >.>
